  • USB-C is an absolute shit-show. Half a dozen types of identical looking cables all with different performance and compatability. They can be power only, USB-2 only, USB 3, 3.1, 5gb, 10gb. Some can carry 5A, others only 3A. Some may support thunderbolt. Cable sellers and manufacturers can/will claim anything.

    For people selling USB-C devices it’s a massive support problem. It looks like the device is defective, but someone may just have swapped out the cable for their phone charger cable and there’s no way of telling.





  • I had an extremely religious teacher in secondary school. He had a habit of threatening other staff, tradesmen, drivers in front of his pupils with “I know taekwando”, then relising what he’d just done and repenting/distracting with “let us pray”. One morning we came into the classroom to find him in a huddle with his union rep. Turned out he’d spent the night in jail after being arrested affray (fighting).

    For almost all religious people their faith provides guidance and comfort, but you don’t want to encourage the nuts.
